Views from the Workbench: Sear and Hammer, Sanding and Polishing
The video shows a gunsmith working on improving the trigger pull of a firearm, specifically a Browning Hi-Power pistol. The gunsmith uses sanding stones and sandpaper to clean and polish the sear and hammer components of the pistol, aiming to achieve a smoother trigger pull. After completing the modifications, the gunsmith reassembles the firearm and measures the new trigger pull weight using a gauge. The trigger pull weight is reduced to around 3.5 pounds from the original weight of 4.2 pounds, and the gunsmith considers further adjustments to get it closer to the desired weight of around 3 pounds. The video provides insights into the detailed process of adjusting and fine-tuning a firearm's trigger mechanism for improved performance.

How to ATTACH Strike Industries Mass Driver Compensator
This video demonstrates the installation of a Strike Industries Mass Driver Compensator on a firearm, specifically a PSA Dagger. It shows the contents of the box, the installation process, including using Loctite, and a function check after installation. The video explains that this compensator is unique because it attaches to the guide rod rather than requiring a threaded barrel. It discusses the impact of compensators on gas flow and slide reciprocation, mentioning the need for a lighter recoil spring with ported barrels. Lastly, it outlines the pros and cons of adding a compensator to a firearm.

Prodigy vs Rival S vs Platypus - TOP SHOOTER
In this video I take my 3 best shooting guns to the range to see which of the 3 is the TOP SHOOTER. I use a 6 bullseye target horizontally and shoot 2 targets with each gun. I have 2 magazines per gun with 10 rounds in them. I show in the range shooting comparison and on target shooting comparison. I evaluate the weight, feel, grip, trigger, accuracy, and overall performance of each gun. I close out with my final assessment and announce the TOP SHOOTER.

Strike Industries Mass Driver Compensator Review
The video features Mega at a The Marksman shooting range testing out a PSA Dagger with a Timney Alpha Glock trigger and a Strike Industries Mass Driver compensator. I initially intended to test the gun both with and without the compensator but forgot the tool to remove it. The gun shoots accurate, showing off the shooting skills on the target. The video concludes with Mega mentioning the components used in the test and signing off.

The Porter.....will it RUN???
This is the initial testing phase of a build I call The #Porter. The Porter is built on the Glock 19 platform with a Glock 17 length slide. The slide is ported and so is the barrel, why it is named The Porter. Every piece of the gun is custom and getting it to run safely in this configuration is a task, but thats what gunsmithing is for. This is one of my longer videos but I show the first shot, every malfunction I faced and the end we see. Will it Run?

SAR B6 Unboxing Field Strip and First Shots
This is the third firearm sent for the SDI Handgun Specialist program. The first class was on revolvers and we were sent the Taurus 856 and for the striker-fired class we were sent a PSA Dagger kit. The third and final gun sent for the hammer-fired class is the SAR B6 which is a Turkish clone of the CZ-75. In this video I show the unboxing, I field strip the firearm and I also take it to the range for its first shots.

FTH 212 week 4 Frame Modification
Week 4 was all about frame modification. For this week's assignment we had practice stipple sheets to draw a pattern on, create a border, sand and stipple. After working on the practice sheets, we had to stipple a pattern on the PSA Dagger that was sent to us or any frame that can be worked on. It took me awhile to get the hang of recessed borders and I still have more to put more time in to get better. After some practice with the borders, I gained the confidence to stipple my Dagger frame. I close out by speaking on the processes to get through the assignment.

Bro-time Toy Fun
In this video my VA Day 1 brotha was in town and this is his first time seeing the Prodigy, Rival S, Platypus, and Macro. I also shot the PSA Dagger build for the first time and had a recurring issue with the AMEND 2 aftermarket Glock magazines. These are all guns he has been looking forward to getting his hands on and its great when your family can enjoy your toys. SHARING IS CARING.
